March has shaped up to be a fairly competitive month for Apple device deals in Australia, but if you missed or skipped the recent Amazon Big Smile Sale or Afterpay Day, the good news is that some lingering Apple deals have hung around — Amazon, for instance, is still offering discounts of up to 40% on a range of Apple tech.
And in some cases, such as with the AirPods Pro 3, we’ve actually seen prices drop further, with Apple’s flagship earbuds now down to AU$369, compared to the AU$379 sale price during last week’s Big Smile Sale.
I’ve listed my five favourite Apple deals and discounts you can still snag below, but be sure to check out the full Apple listings at Amazon, or even the mega online retailer’s complete list of latest deals, as there are some tantalising ongoing discounts on Wi-Fi routers, security cameras, Kindles and more.
Dropping to a much more palatable price, now is a great chance to snap up Apple’s latest set of ubiquitous buds. They offer a sensationally snug and secure fit, benefit from truly outstanding ANC and sound fantastic.
The Apple AirTags do a remarkable job of helping you find mislaid items, whether it be keys, a wallet or a bag. And now the 4-pack has received a huge 40% discount — effectively making each AirTag AU$24.75 each — there’s never been a better time to ensure you’re never without your most cherished items again. Note that this isn’t the recently announced second-generation model, but the first-gen is still more than capable of reuniting you with lost gear.
The current entry-level iPad is a compelling option for those who don’t need all the bells and whistles of the more expensive iPad Pros or Air. Paired with a case and keyboard, the iPad (A16) isn’t a slouch when it comes to productivity either, thanks to iPadOS 26, which ushered in a wealth of useful and practical productivity features. I have seen this model dip below AU$500 before, but a 12% saving on an iPad is still very much worth taking advantage of.
There’s no denying Apple’s thinnest phone (released alongside the iPhone 17 range last September) is drop-dead gorgeous. And while it’s fair to say it makes some compromises, it’s still a formidable device, with powerful internals, a decent camera platform and good battery life. You’ll need to pair it with one of the best SIM-only plans, but with an 18% discount, you’ll have some spare change to do so.
OK, so while it's not the most mind-blowing AirPods Max deal I’ve ever seen, and it only applies to the Purple colour — other colours get smaller discounts — this 11% saving on Apple's awesome AirPods Max is definitely worth an audition. Offering superb ANC and a wide, well-balanced soundstage that makes any genre sing, they do justify their premium price tag when it comes to audio output.
